Wow, the dinner scene's pacing is killer. That slow build, and the sinking feeling of, "Oh, crap. This is not going to turn out well."

Damn.

Yeah, kinda knew going into it that the dinner scene was going to be...emotional. At first, in my outline, Dean was going to get much more agressive, but it just didn't play that was when I was writing it. Um, and not to be a shameless person acting shamelessly, but I managed to add some visuals to the postings (both a and b!) -- so, a map and smilla02's lovely cover.

Oh, Dean. (They're really trading it off in this fic... that's when you know you've got good angst, when you start bouncing back and forth with the 'Oh, X'.)

I do so hope that you update soon. I'm loving this.

I tell ya, everytime I get a comment from you and it pops up in my mailbox, I look forward to that fucking cat with the machine gun. Makes me laugh every single time.

Eh, if I write it all too quickly it'll be over, right? That's what I tell myself anyway. I also just added some visuals (I figured out how..I am AMAZING with this LJ stuff) to both parts A and B (smilla's cover and a MAP, because, well, one needs a map, I reckon).

The interweaving of the two stories is just amazing, each one bleeding feeling and meaning into the other. Poor Elise, not knowing that she just stepped on a giant Winchester Landmine. John is being very closed-off to Dean's ideas - as a control mechanism, because he's so clearly losing Sam? - but I suspect that this is probably one of the worst times in their relationship. Dean works very well independently, or assisting his dad, but having to do both and work Sam's angle as well, then keep the family unit together is far too much for him. And I worry that he could well provide the willing sacrifice that John and Sam are too stubborn to give - if the incentive was right.

I think it must be one of the worst times in their relationship, everyone hanging on and letting go and it's all one big mess. In the present day, I set it between Crossroads and Croatoan for a few different reasons, but one of which is that I really wanted to write Dean's headspace in there.

And yes, a bunch of this is about sacrifice and what you're willing to do for the greater good, so I'm glad that's coming through. I just added a map (to part A) and smilla02's cover to part b if I can entice you back...shameless, aren't I?

Thank you for making me cry great big wrenching sobs. Really, I need my heart ripped out on a regular basis.

Beyond the ease with which you manipulate emotional responses, I'm very intrigued by what is going on at the Falls in 2001. The mystery is a good one, as is the family drama but I guess that goes without saying by this point.

I don't know how much of me will be left by the end. And yet, I'm really looking forward to it. You're just that good. ;-)

*passes you some Kleenex*

I'm glad you're liking the 2001 mystery. As soon as I saw that photo of the dry Falls, I knew I had my story. Freaked me the hell out. Oh, and I added a few little visuals to my posts (both a and b), just because, like many marketers and purveyors of snake oil, I like to keep you all comin' back.

Signed, Shameless Hussy.

Oh, god. The Shuters, and Dean realizing...and man, while I was relieved that Elise didn't die...it was nerve-wracking.

The bodies CREEP ME OUT. And Dean, putting them back, and they still keep talking to him...AUGH.

And oh, man, Thanksgiving...oh, Dean...sniff.

LJ is so considerate...it's like two chapters!!

Love, LOVE, love...mwah!

LJ really is our friend, isn't it? She? He? Whatever. I'm so happy to have something to post, B. It's been like the fucking Gobi out there in horrible, horrible realifeland. Please make my clients stop. I'm reduced to answering phone calls from under my desk with a static message that says I've fled the country. It's pathetic.

The trouble is, life's too interesting. It really is. And as Lemmypie will tell you, I've got the attention span of a Pekinese. It's all I can do to stop myself flapping about, yapping furiously at birds.

I hear that trouble's heaps of fun's afoot for you and certain pals next weekend...I am (for the record) completely jealous. You'll have to iChat with me from the event. Don't worry. If you're carting around a certain fuzzy unmentionable, you can cart around a little laptop, eh?
